The new owners really know how to make a great pizza! And I love their arancinis. My wife and I have shared a chicken parm and we both feel it's one of the best we've had. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Update: Pizza-Roma has changed hands twice since my first review as Joe, the original owner, retired. I tried the second owner's pizza and wasn't impressed, but I have yet to try the third. Just be warned that this is not the same place it used to be!Pizza from an old Italian guy. Doesn't get any better than that!

The new management have modernized the experience from the long time previous owner. I saw two styles of slices available for reheat and a long list of other entrées.I tried out their Italian sub and was pleasantly surprised at the freshness of all the ingredients. Yes, they bake their own sub rolls and slice the cold cuts to order right in front of you. They also warmed up the roll to put a little crunch into the top.I'm full and satisfied with my first trial item. It won't be my last. I would recommend others try this long term Italian restaurant with the new and progressive owners. Mangia bene!

Delicious pizza! The new owners have nailed it. It's almost as good as the original Pizza Roma when Sully owned it

Disregard the negative reviews from several months ago cuz it seems like new people run the place and it’s fantastic. Ordered two small pizzas online (one salami one prosciutto), pickup was friendly, and the pizzas were delicious. Nice and crispy thin crust with quality, fresh tasting sauce and toppings. Not too small for a small either. Give ‘em a try

This is not your father's Pizza Roma. You can't compare the two. New owners took over a few weeks ago and have changed everything, fresh baked rolls and breads. Staff is very friendly and the place is clean. The Clive's are close to the register so you can see what they have available. They offer some specials too. I went with an Italian sub and it did not disappoint. They sliced the cold cuts to order. The bread was fresh, crusty on the outside, soft in the middle. I really enjoyed it and would definitely order again. I had previously tried a slice of the Sicilian pizza and it was delicious. This place is different than the old Pizza Roma, but different isn't a bad thing.

This is an update 3/9. Second new owner (first since Dave review). Pizza very bland and not worth the price. Really miss the good old days!

Sadly, the pizza is no longer the same since Joe retired.He used to make the most amazing pizza, and I would so look forward to having it every time I'd come back to the area to visit. Furthermore, the price was incredibly reasonable. The only slight drawback I could imagine for some was that Joe didn't exactly have the friendliest demeanor, was a bit on the gruff and matter of fact side of things, but with such wonderful pizza at reasonable prices who cares. (Previous rating was five stars.)It seems that a new owner came in some months ago and so the prices jumped by about 25%. The one time I had the pizza (large pepperoni), it was still okay but just not quite as good.Apparently now in February 2024 ownership has again changed. The new people seem nice and are quite friendly but regrettably the pizza was disappointing for me: most importantly the bottom was overcooked, even burnt, the edges/crust seem extra wide for no reason especially since they're not tasty enough to be worth eating on their own, and the pepperoni ratio really wasn't great. (By the way, they use really large pepperoni.)I guess all good things must come to an end. We'll miss you Joe. Thanks for all the years of absolutely great pizza.

Great pizza. The sicilian style pizza is fantastic. They recently renovated it and it looks great inside. Check their Facebook page for specials.

What happened to this place? It use to be decent but now it just taste gross. For the past 6-7 years we would get pizza from here and it was fine. Nothing special but what you expect and it was close by. Then that all changed this past Fall. Noticeably different and noticeably not good. Time to find a new local place.
